I joined this story a long tie ago (back when it started!) intending to post all my birth stories after my third was born.. well, he was born in, um, march, and here I am just getting around to it now!

Hi ladies (and gents!): Just thought I'd introduce myself in advance. I don't have a birth story to share as of yet, but as I'm due in late July 2007 I'll be sharing mine with all of you soon enough. :) Good luck and congrats to all those ladies who've already gone through the childbirthing experience.

I wrote this story almost 3 years ago. Much has changed since then. I was very pleased with my daughter's birth then, but as time has passed, I truly regret just about every choice I made.

I'm nearing my second birth, and it feels like I've never even experienced birth before! I cannot wait to post that story. I have a feeling it will be drastically different than this one.
